Missouri River Basin Hydro Conditioning, BMP Targeting Analysis and 1W1P Acceleration
The purpose of this project is to complete Intensive Hydraulic Conditioning on the remaining 60% of the watershed to be able to utilize the Prioritize, Target, and Measure application (PTMApp). The basin has 1.1 million acres of drainage with approximately 630,000 acres remaining to be hydro conditioned. With the advancement in targeting pollution sources within the watershed and state, the partners intend to be able to more accurately target conservation practices with the hydraulic conditioning completed. Completion of this project will result in a set of data that accelerates the 1W1P planning process, and optimizes prioritization of BMPs.

This process will yield a list of practices in strategically important locations which will provide the greatest water quality benefit for the Missiouri River Basin. Installing practices in these locations provides the most effective and efficient means f
Consultant worked with project partners to gather data, prepare inputs, and run PTMApp analysis in conjunction with the 1W1P plan development to assist with producing a targeted implementation plan. Intensive hydrologic conditioning was completed for approximately 1,000 square miles in the Missouri River Basin. This area includes portions of Upper Big Sioux River, Lower Sioux River, Kanaranzi Creek, Little Rock River watersheds. Previously hydro conditioned watersheds within the Missouri River Basin will be incorporated into the new DEM and the result will produce a hydrologic condition DEM for the 1W1P Missouri River Basin boundary. The hydrologically conditioned DEM (hDEM) will be used for local planning to delinate watersheds, flow paths and other derived products. The hDEM will also be one of the primary inputs into the PTMApp analysis task. The hDEM is a fundamental building block towards accelerating the planning and targeting of BMPs in the watershed.
